The CableCURE/CB process is simple and elegant ... as all great ideas are. The simplicity of the process is the source of its cost-effectiveness. CableCURE/CB fluid is pumped into a cable at a viscosity similar to water. Water in the cable is forced out in front of the fluid. Within two to four days, the material cures to a gel.
Most important to you is that we warrant water will not re-enter the cable and the cable will not have water problems for as long as you keep it in service.

Here is the step-by-step CableCURE/CB process:
 |
Using CableCURE/CB fluid on water-damaged cables improves the electrical characteristics of the cable. To track this improvement, the cable's quality is tested both before and after injection.
|
|
 |
With CableCURE/CB treatment, technicians only need access to the two ends of the cable. From these points they can complete the entire process, from the preliminary TDR tests to the actual injection. CableCURE/CB compound can be injected into cables while they are still in service. Your customers do not experience any distortion or break in transmission while the service is being performed.

CableCURE/CB treatment can be performed on cables of any length with 25 to 3600 pairs. In the picture to the left, this 200-pair cable has its damming and injection adapters installed and is ready to receive the service.

 |
While injecting the compound, UtilX uses a proprietary method, ensuring that the cables are filled evenly. This is important because even distribution of the material maintains or improves the longitudinal balance of the pairs.
|
|
 |
As the cables fill with CableCURE/CB solution, any remaining water is forced out ahead of the compound into collection tanks. Within 48 to 72 hours, CableCURE/CB fluid thickens into a gel, precluding any future water entry.

So how do you know for sure if you are a good candidate for CableCURE/CB service? One way is to answer the following questions:
- Do I get an inordinate number of trouble reports on any of my cables?
- Could I eliminate cable replacement if I could recover previously abandoned pairs?
- Will cable replacement disrupt highly landscaped neighborhoods, paved roads, or other environmentally sensitive regions?
- Would I like to save 40% to 80% of the cost to replace cable?
- Would I like to retire some of my air dryers?
If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you can benefit from CableCURE/CB service. To learn more about this service and how we can help cure your water-damaged aircore cables, contact our Telecommunications Group
